We're a bunch of chemistry nerds who decided that saving the world sounded more fun than a normal job.
STR Technologies was founded in a moment of pure scientific rebellion. "Why are we extracting adjuvants from tree bark like it's the 1800s?" asked our founder, probably while drinking coffee from a beaker. "We have NMR spectrometers. We have HPLC. We have ambition."
And thus, STR was born — a company dedicated to the radical idea that synthetic chemistry could make better vaccine ingredients than boiling tree parts. The Chilean soapbark trees have been celebrating ever since.
Our team consists of world-class scientists, engineers, and one office dog who has learned to identify at least three amino acids by smell.
Has a PhD in organic chemistry and a black belt in convincing grant committees. Once synthesized a molecule so pure it made the HPLC cry tears of joy.
Can ship a vial of GMP-grade material to 47 countries before you finish reading this bio. Her logistics spreadsheets are a thing of beauty.
Specializes in tail-wagging, treat procurement, and ensuring all lab coats receive a thorough fur inspection. ISO 9001 certified good boy.
We believe that the future of adjuvant technology shouldn't depend on whether it rained enough in Chile this year. Our mission is to provide pharmaceutical companies with synthetic adjuvants so consistent, so pure, and so reliable that they'll wonder why they ever settled for tree-sourced alternatives.
Also, we'd really like to win a Nobel Prize someday. But we'll settle for consistent 5-star shipping reviews.
